I was terminated by my office as I did not have

Customer Question

I was terminated by...

I was terminated by my office as I did not have documentation for std sent in on time. My doctors office told me they sent it in so I filled a complaint against Sedgwick. Later after being terminated I learned that the doctors office staff actually lied about sending in the documentation.

Lawyer's Assistant: Have you discussed the termination with a manager or HR? Or with a lawyer?

I have with my HR office and they stated that I only need a letter stating that they made a mistake but the doctors office is making it increasingly difficult to complete an appointment

Lawyer's Assistant: Are you an "at will" employee? Do you belong to a union?

At will for Apple computers

Lawyer's Assistant: Anything else you want the lawyer to know before I connect you?

That I have recently had my disability denied for the same long term issue that Sedgwick usually approves.
